RUNDOWN: A group of four young British students started
a band because they were bored of school. Their first album was a four-song
EP released in 2001. Now that their sound has matured, The Music is making
inroads into North America through tireless touring, with popular names
such as The Vines and The Charlatans.

KEY TRACKS: Their first single, "Take the Long Road
and Walk it," is catchy and innovative. The wailing of lead singer
Robert Harvey is reminiscent of Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. "The
Truth is no Words" and "Getaway" are rock classics waiting
to happen.

SOUNDS LIKE: The Music's first full-length provides its
share of raw, rockin' riffs with a hearty side of psychedelia. The songs
are thick with bass and reverberating guitar harmonies, and display an exceptional
blend of mellow verses and intense choruses. Having recently earned the
renowned British Mercury prize from the music industry for their original,
fresh and creative sound, The Music are definitely set to make their mark
on the international music scene.
